Here the electrical flow tilt is used; inwards Deming’s book, the tilt reads, “Put everyone inwards the society to function to achieve the transformation. The transformation is everybody’s job.” Page 24.

[27] For those of us who attended Deming classes, the “red-white bead” experiment is a classic illustration of non knowing a process, however demanding improvement. H5N1 version of this experiment is described inwards Chapter 11, ibid.

[29] To avoid weighing downward the text amongst a terribly cumbersome acronym, C4ISR stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance together with Reconnaissance.

[30] For such a tremendous influence on modern strategic theory, John Boyd has real niggling written together with published. His magnum opus was a collection of 4 extended briefings amongst notes, the send of which took upwards of 14 (14) hours to complete. Those collected briefings, titled H5N1 Discourse on Winning together with Losing, constitute the vast bulk of Boyd’s strategic ideas. The version used hither is from August, 1987, reproduced past times John Boyd for the writer inwards 1990. 

[31] The C4ISR Cooperative Research Program, next its cite together with mission from the Department of Defense, has published numerous books together with articles. The source CCRP document on Network Centric Warfare is David S. Alberts, John J. Garstka, together with Frederick P. Stein, Network Centric Warfare: Developing together with Leveraging Information Superiority, 2nd Edition (revised); Washington: DoD CCRP, August, 1999. It is to the credit of this scheme that almost of their publications are available to the public, at no charge, via their website, www.dodccrp.org

[34] Boyd’s Decision Cycle or Loop, the Observation-Orientation-Decision-Act or OODA Loop, has larn quite the measure past times which 1 tin adjudge armed forces efficiency together with effectiveness. It is constitute originally formulated inwards his commencement briefing, “Patterns of Conflict,” inside the same Discourse set, page 131. One of the major drawbacks of applying OODA Cycles to organizations is that the Cycle reflects an private cycle, non an organization’s cycle. Be that every bit it may, the are other theoretical models, all empirically constitute valid together with reliable, that tin last used for organizations. For example, Schein’s Adaptive-Coping Cycle, constitute inwards Edgar Schein, Organizational Culture together with Leadership; San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1991.
